Step 1: Preparation
Your Juggling Instructions are about to start you on a wonderful adventure...
Get three objects to juggle, like bean bags. Now, set aside the juggling balls. Stand up, feet about shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, arms at your side.
Now raise your hands, bending at the elbows, forearms parallel to the floor, palms facing up. Relax . Perhaps close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Work toward releasing any tension in your body, especially in the joints - wrists, knees, elbows, shoulders, neck. Do this for a moment or two - as long as it feels good.
You are starting to teach your body to how it should feel as you juggle - relaxed and free of tension. Your body will learn (as you’ll see) just as it learns, and remembers, many tasks - like driving a car or riding a bicycle. As your body learns, your mind is free to focus on other things - like catching a ball or tossing one. Then, as you progress, as your body learns, you won’t have to think about throwing or catching.
